We use both Mexican cheese and Mozzarella cheese depending on what we have on hand and both are delicious in this recipe.

We love easy meals that are also easy on the budget. Your food budget is one of the places where you can save tons of money each month, so we try to post as many $ saving recipes as possible.

You could substitute chicken thighs to save even more money on this recipe, but you would need to add about 10-15 minutes to the cook time.

TIP: Heat up any leftover salsa and serve with the chicken.

Serve with sour cream

 

always cook chicken to 165 degrees
